Good morning Dave, Steve and everyone else hanging out here today!
Hope everyone has a great Hump Day!! I would say we got a couple inches of snow but hard to tell as the darn wind is blowing it all over the place again.
Thanks for the link Mike! The funny thing is yesterday I ordered that exact kit but got it for $270! Woohoo I saved five bucks! LOL I also ordered up a new tip to go with it and I ordered a WW! Starting to get my parts lined up. I also scored a great deal on CL the other day and got a 31 row 6.0 trans cooler for cheap with the hoses and some fittings to hook it up! Dave is gonna buy my tru-cool to go on his new truck. I am starting to get excited now!

Morning Mike, Troy, Steve!
It's a great day out, huh Mike? My truck is at work apart. Doing injector tests, and also glow plugs. Can't get the Mazda outta the back either soooo I have to wait to get a ride to work...

Yeah is is fairly wet here too but it is still blowing pretty good. The wind seems to be dying down a bit so that is good.

Well I hope the injector tests all come out good! I bet that thing will start much better with new glow plugs and here is a vote for 5w-40 synthetic to also help with the cold weather starting.

I hope so Troy. There are some bad O-rings for sure, and I suspect 3 weak injectors. But we will see what happens.
I will be running 5-40 till the next change anyways. I found a hole on the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler on the warm side too. Right where they rub on the fitting at the power steering pump. Gonna pull the pump and reseal it too while I am in there since it leaks a bit. Looks like a leak from the turbo pedestal too...
